Example packet

Assumptions
What the numbers assume.
- Use summary totals from your local records rather than buyer names, donor private contacts, bank details, or student private information.
- Rows with blank labels and no amounts are ignored so you can leave starter rows in place.
- Blank amount fields count as zero. Negative amounts are treated as zero and flagged for review.
- The worksheet helps a meeting packet, but official accounting, deposit records, tax questions, and approvals stay in your normal systems.
- Follow your school, PTO/PTA, booster, district, treasurer, bank, and local procedures.
Formula notes
How the totals are calculated.
- Budgeted income and actual income are the sums of the income rows after blank rows are ignored.
- Budgeted expenses and actual expenses are the sums of the expense rows after blank rows are ignored.
- Budgeted net is budgeted income minus budgeted expenses. Actual net is actual income minus actual expenses.
- Net variance is actual net minus budgeted net. Positive variance shows over plan; negative variance shows under plan.
- Actual margin is actual net divided by actual income when actual income is greater than zero.
- The CSV export includes event details, summary rows, income rows, expense rows, and review warnings.
